The Wildfire That Almost Took the LZ Compound
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2022
- Yesterday - a little smoke quickly became a major concern as a 25+ acre wildfire started just across the street of the compound. Having to leave everything you've worked your whole life toward with no control over a bad situation is not a good feeling. Thank you all for your thoughts and concern - and the fire fighters/law enforcement who saved the day and kept everyone safe.

Also... just to add... today there was another fire even BIGGER behind us. Similar proximity - but thankfully the wind was blowing the opposite direction and we're in the clear (for now)
seems sus
mike has a sharp eye good instinct 👌🏾

Appreciate all the love from everyone, I don’t need any raise or anything lol. Just glad I was able to catch it in time and act upon it, the fire and police crews were heroes in this and handled it perfectly 🤘🏻
You're the man!
Such a humble cool guy....glad you caught it...👍🤙
never lose that intuition. it saves lives.
But you know an Xmas bonus is always appreciated ^_^ great spot
you literally saved the compound! be fire smart to prevent this from happening ever again!
Unreal situation. Mike is a champ, dude has a gift of maturity and assertiveness, you can tell by the way he carries himself. Beyond stoked the team and compound was safe. ❤
Mike is the VIP for 2023
Crazy how real that felt, you see wildfires every year around the world and think nothing of it. Your videos make it feel like we are a part of the LZ team and seeing the compound come so close to being lost, puts into perspective how as a community you have made us feel as if the compound is something WE all should take pride in and losing it would be as if we lost something of our own, for those who have supported since the beginning. You keep putting in the work, and we'll keep supporting!
I couldnt agree more bro, it actually kinda hit me the panic to get what u can, almost as if ur about to lose something u love buy took for granted.
Man I was in literal tears for Adam in the beginning everything he's worked his whole life for is within the compound
Unless ur from California😂
cringe
How do you think nothing of fires from around the world?!? They are getting worse and worse every year thanks to people doing the wrong thing and polluting their environment. Climate change and global warming is real and this video shows you just how real and scary it can get. Lets think as one and not for ourselves so this stops happening all the time. Stop littering and do the right thing ffs.
I live in Australia, this sort of thing is pretty common in hotter months, as an Ex Fire Fighter id recommend clearing near the fence line and buildings if you can for be access and to help slow the spread. Good job to Mike for spotting it aswell. Glad everyone / everything was ok
This is exactly why I cleared, trees and all, an 8-10’ wide perimeter around our acreage.
Get this comment likes up so Adam can see!
An a roof top sprinkler system on the buildings to help cut any chance of losing stuff
Totally agree👍
And a spray system setup.
Can't imagine what was going through Adam's mind, seeing everything he's worked for in the last decade being this close to destruction. Man, if this doesn't prove that it's all about your circle, I don't know what will. Big ups to Mike for practically saving the compound!
maybe a good time to think about the fact that while his work and videos are entertaining the CO2 footprint produced by the cars and compound is huge. Wildfires are getting more common because of global warming, a result of climate change, a result of too much emissions. Treat the environment like shit and it'll come back at you
@@MultiFerrarifreak Can't disagree with you man, what goes around comes around. Nonetheless, I'm glad everyone's okay.
@@MultiFerrarifreak cars do no damage to the environment compared to planes and ships lmao
@@dawidtf or the giant machinery that pulls the materials from the ground that then travels by truck and train to another place with more giant machinery that then produces the fuel that all of these machines run on.
Don't get me wrong, I love my hobbies (things with motors/engines) and I don't want them to go away but when we're having hurricanes and tornadoes and wildfires in December with 70+ degree temps across the country... Even I can remember having to wear jackets in the mornings in SoCal 20 years ago and now I can wear shorts and a short sleeve shirt in Tennessee (sometimes) in the middle of December. You kind of have to think 🤔 uhhhh, Ruh-Roh Shaggy. Something's fucked up with Mother Nature
@@MultiFerrarifreak lmfao shouldn’t have a name like “petrol head” if that’s how you really think.
Insane amount of respect for the fire crews and all first responders! And mike for catching it early enough!
“Everyone in the most expensive cars they can grab” AdamLZ pulling up in a side by side! 😂
Yo Adam Talk to Cleetus and get a Water tank. He set up one for the Freedom Factory. Also See if you can find a secondhand firetruck like what Cleetus did. I am glad you guys are ok and also the compound. You should put Irrigation all alongside the compound driveways that way you can switch it on throughout the entire compound and basically flood the grass and trees and bush on the compound. It may slow a fire and that's a good way for you guys if that ever happens again to know you have time to get out if ever it was worse. you should also see if the fire department can come to the compound and train everyone in how to evacuate in quick time. Again I'm glad everyone was safe and also the compound.
He needs import one of them little JDM fire trucks
Brush trucks is what he needs
@Erikk Hyndman theres a little thing called humor, think you might need a few doses
@Erikk Hyndman A hose and a pump is all a fire truck is whether it's a kei truck or a bloody semi it still does the exact same job you know. It moves water from one place to another. It's as simple as you🤦
@Carl Gunderson was actually pretty serious it would be a good addition to the compound. But I think Erikk thinks fire trucks actually carry water to the fire instead of pumping it from a water source. Either that or its the typical yank "bigger is better" attitude
Mike hands downs saved the compound, big props to you and the rest of the team to get all the cars out
Yeah hopefully the 50 lakes and ponds around the compound don’t catch on fire.
Just remember that the embers can stay dormant for almost a month before they spark up again. I'd be super careful if I were you. Good job saving the compound guys
Go to bed with a fire extinguisher Florida boy.
Mike fueled the fire by flying a drone over it. Drones put off a shit ton of wind
@@macbook802 lol
Shoutout to Mike being aware enough to react like that. And the drone work was absolutely incredible. This shit had me sick watching this even tho I knew it was gunna be alright. Damn!
My heart has never dropped so fast. So glad everyone’s safe and the compound made it. Mad props to Mike for the quick thinking. I genuinely would have been heart broken to see anyone or thing get lost to that. Stay safe out there boys. Maybe take a couple days off.
Damn truly a blessing that Mike went with his gut feeling to check out the smoke and made the decision to call the fire department. He definitely saved the compound. Time to make sure the insurance policy is up to date and has everything covered
Are you serious?Adam and friends are the type of people that would die in a real fire. They spent 8 hours moving cars lol and they all have smoke inhalation. They turned a completely safe situation to a near deadly situation so they can pretend to have saved a bunch of shitty cars for RUclips. They even forgot about Collette
@@macbook802 why all the hate?
@@duke6156 Some people like yours truly simply have nothing better to do with their lives but hate on those who they envy
@@duke6156 I'm not hating, I'm helping. Maybe next time they'll figure out whats important
@@danielsuriel2813 bro those are the last people you should be envious of.
Damn man that's really scary. Good thing Mike spotted it and took action right away. Glad you're all okay. This is a good chance to get a plan in place and a priority system just in case something like this happens again. Also I think Mike deserves a raise lol
Move from FL before you become soft.
I'm so glad everyone is okay and the compound remains in tact! Awesome luck on Mike's behalf, fantastic job everyone, ya'll have got Adams back but this is now more concrete than ever!
Wow you get us through the day with your videos. I’m glad everyone safe and I didn’t make it to the compound. It’s crazy in a couple of months April 23 the house I was living in burn to the ground with all my belongings in my family we all got out safely but it’s amazing what you accumulate and I’m 50 with a lot of hobbies and toys too many and lost just about everything it’s crazy I’m still in the motel but think I just got out and I didn’t make it to the compound. Keep making videos and keep chugging along in FD , be surprised people need to video just to get by sometimes a little escape to keep putting them out and colette to but I do like fingers together I know you do it separate but it’s cool music together too. Peace Sal Rizzo
Phew! That was insane, so glad everyone and everything is okay 👌👌👌
Just remember that the embers can stay dormant for almost a month before they spark up again. I'd be super careful if I were you. Good job saving the compound guys
The amount of joy you've given me over the years I couldn't imagine seeing everything you've done along the way go up in flames. Hats off to the fire department, and anyone else involved! You've got some really good people around you.
I've never seen Adam in such panic mode... It could have been a disaster. Firefighters, we love you
Im so damn glad to see everyone and everything was safe! And how awesome the local fire fighters and law enforcement got onto it. Personally I've been in the same circumstance watching a fire creeping towards you're house. All I could do was create a water barrier around my house with hoses and sprinklers and left them on and grabbed some valuables and left my house. Thankfully our local fire fighters go onto it quickly. This was in 2019 when half of Australia was on fire, constantly checking our fire service app, keeping up to date and having a fire plan.
Mike is a real one, so glad you have such good friends on your team
Great job Mike! If anyone from the compound sees this please look into it. You can get a sprinkler system for compound set up to use water from retention pond (s). Can be useful to keep roofs, buildings, and grass or woods wet in order to keep fire threat down.
So glad everyone is safe! And the compound was saved from the fire! So good to see everyone come together and evacuate as quickly as they did, and hats off to everyone fighting the fire what a blessing they are!
As a wildland firefighter from the west coast Props to mike for finding that and calling it in so quick but for others in here, whenever there is an active wildland fire please please do not fly drones. If an unidentifiable drone is spotted over the fire all air resources are shutdown till they can deem it safe. Air resources can be a huge asset for us ground guys especially in these initial situations so it’s huge to have them up and helping us get these out quicker!
Kinda terrifying seeing my cars on the “insurance” footage😅😂
Massive appreciation to all the law Enforcement and everyone involved! Glad Mike spotted it early and you guys had time to get everyone out safely and the compound was untouched!
Your Mk2 looks lovely, it caught my eye in that clip. Thought I was imagining it at first, had to rewind and check. Never thought I’d see VW’s in an LZ building 😂
@@benwinch930 same lol
i just scrolled to find your comment cause as soon as i saw this video header i was like OMG NO THE VWS!!!!!!
7:35 Imagine driving and stopping at this Florida rest stop to see all the cars. Big up to all for being able to evacuate. Being that this is common in Florida, it would be ideal to setup a future plan just incase this happens again near by. Even have plans in place for hurricanes.
He said its not common in Florida, compared to California.
And the compound is fitted for hurricanes, atleast up untill the start ripping trees from the ground xD
@@TheFrisken95 I don't know what you consider often but I can tell you that they do happen quite often. I'm telling you from living here almost 40 years. Surely humidity helps with calm them down .
@@flexnix for sure. Especially areas with busy highways. That area has alot of wooded area thats accessable by land/boat.
Not very common here controlled ones are but out of nowhere especially after a very rainy week? Nah. and yea I was on that road going to the airport and I was like OH SHIT ADAM as cars were flying by I was more stressed about him then being late for my flight.
So glad that everyone made it out safe and sound. Great job on catching this fire early Mike ! You are the Man !!!
CRAZY, so happy you are all safe! I could not even imagine loosing all those priceless whips! Great job as a team y’all!! Much love
You can tell a lot about a person and their use of we, our and us vs. me, my, I and mine. Adam really seems to be a genuine person.
Amen
Are you serious? Adam and friends are the type of people that would die in a real fire. They spent 8 hours moving cars lol and they all have smoke inhalation. They turned a completely safe situation to a near deadly situation so they can pretend to have saved a bunch of shitty cars for RUclips. Nobody even woke Collette up bro
@@macbook802 damn that’s crazy, you were there ?
@@ric393 Hes talking shit. And no one got a smoke poisoning or something like that. Stop spreading shit you know nothing about.
So glad y’all and the compound are safe! Fires are scary
Lolz. Like being afraid of a birthday candle while sitting in a swimming pool. Stfu
It's crazy to think that all the great work you guys put in for us almost went up in flames. The law enforcement did an amazing job at keeping everyone and the area safe. I'm glad that all is okay and props to everyone for working together to try and save as much as possible. Here's to many more memories and experiences🤟
So glad y’all and the cars and everything on the compound is safe and made it out! I was freaking out watching this
Mike taking immediate action like that was really smart. I bet the fire was a result of an ATV or another vehicle traveling on that trail. You can see how the origin is extending from right next to dirt track.
Could have been a glass bottle refracting sunlight, like if someone threw it off tail. It’s scary how little it takes to start a fire
@@alextasarov1341 even a can "can" refract enough light to start smoke
I bet it wasn’t that at all.
@@jefferson9428 My comment is admittedly pure speculation but it is one of the more common reasons for forest fires near the OHV trails in my area. Happy to hear other theories.
More likely lighting hit a tree and slowly burnt a tree. Same thing happened in wooded area near me
As somebody who lives in norther California wildfires are no joke! It’s easy to brush off when you see it on the news, but when it’s in your front yard it’s a whole different beast. Having to evacuate from your house with a 10 minute notice to grab what’s important puts perspective on what’s important in your life.
Glad you guys are all good. Thanks for making this video to bring it to attention. You have a good team and work good under pressure..
Glad everyone is ok and that the authorities kept the compound safe! Props to mike for reacting so fast. I have had a fire that was travelling towards my house that was threatening to burn it down, so i fully understand how you guys felt! Glad everyone is safe!
Glad everyone’s safe!
The Shulminator!!
Thank god mike was on the team and noticed this. Just imagine if someone didn’t notice that and didn’t call in time. Mikes a hero
Adam should buy Mike a hooker a steak and a new camera as appreciation
Wildfires/ Bushfires are no joke, I'm a volunteer firefighter in South Australia and have seen first hand the destruction they can cause... and how quickly they can move in the right conditions. Preparation is key, have a plan in place for any future worst case scenarios! Glad everything worked out ok in the end!
Thanks Mike for being so helpful
Glad Mike spotted it and you are all good and the compound survived!
When I saw the tweet I was so worried. I’m glad everything ended up being alright. Huge props to mike for checking the fire that definitely changed the whole outcome not only for you guys but probably your neighbors as well.
I hope you called your mom
@@jonnyrowland didn’t know I couldn’t be worried for one of my favorite content creators entire lively hood being destroyed by a fire along with some of my favorite builds I’ve ever seen
Holy crap adam, I'm glad the problem was resolved. It's really scary to have that happens especially when you have as many cars and personal properties as you has in that plot of land. Surprised it didn't rain at all during this
glad everything is ok. it's really scary to think of everything that you have worked for could be gone in an instant. big props to Mike for spotting it and getting the firefighters out there so quickly
Glad you’re all okay!
Time to buy a fire truck, you could have been doing wet downs of the brush around your compound in that 30 mins. Also put out small fire before they become huge brush fires…
Now I wonder how close Cleetus is. :) But that is a big advantage of being a bunch of gearheads, their own pumper truck, maybe a water cannon, pretty doable.
@@OllamhDrab cleetus is about 2 hours away so wouldn’t be if any help in this situation
@@jordanthorne1805 Hrm. I have only a vague idea where everyone down there is, but at least Cleeter's got a little experience messing around with the things. :) (Also apparently finding all kinds of things) I used to know a guy who was like a total fire engine otaku, but unfortunately he passed on some years ago. Such people are out there, though.
They do have that small pond/lake in the middle of the compound. Maybe buy a gas powered water pump & reasonable amount of hose to drain that sucker in case of situations like this
Honestly I was sort of wondering why they weren't trying to spray down literally everything before they left. Minus the time they didn't have, it almost seems like a good idea to have a large transfer pump in that pond for this reason
Damn that’s crazy. Mike killed it with the drone work. Happy everyone was safe.
Grateful y’all and the compound and safe. And to act in a normal matter… respect 🙏🏽. Be safe out there.
great situational awareness Mike! You deserve a raise!
Man that was crazy... I survived a house fire in 2013.. Barely made it out with my 2 kids in my arms... Lost everything including 2 dogs but we survived! It really shows you what is important... Things can be replaced (even tons of expensive cars) but people can't! I'm glad that yall all made it out and none of the things that you have worked so hard to buy went up in flames!!!
Glad you’re ok. There’s nothing scarier than knowing something could come after you any minute
As an Australian I understand your anguish! You guys are so lucky everything is is so green and lush.
I'm just bloody happy that everyone's all right this is a great channel, With a lot of great people.💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🏁🏁🏁🏁.
so thankful for Mike and his epic reaction time! proud of all of you getting safe as fast as possible!
This honestly gave me chills watching ...Mike, you listened to your gut for whatever reason and as a viewer we are all grateful. But I am also extremely grateful that every single one of you got away safely . You as a person isn't replaceable, everything else is
So Glad you are all ok and no one got hurt. Blessings to you all from Kissimmee FL
Glad everyone is alright! I know how scary it is to have fire near your home. Love from Australia!
Glad to hear you guys are safe Adam. I live in Australia where bushfires are all too common so I totally feel the anxiety and stress of when it's close to home. Great that all your team worked fast and calmly to keep your possessions safe. ❤❤
Glad everyone's ok and the fires mostly contained!! I can only imagine the thoughts going through your mind during this..
Man huge props to the firefighters and the other people who handled that. Especially the pilots!
Thank you everyone to keep everyone else safe ! Stay safe brothers. xx from Australia
Never had so much stress until yesterday when I saw mikes story, thanks mike for acting so quick and saving not only the compound but all the content, without you taking such a quick action and may Adam have lost the compound all of the amazing content that we’ve been able to get since the compound was obtained wouldn’t have continued, hats off to the fire department for being quick to save everything!
Dude I am so glad you and everyone and the cars 😉 are ok. Thank you so much for all the good content.
Got goosebumps watching this, so glad it all worked out and everyone is okay
Living in TN, we had to deal with the Gatlinburg fire a few years back. Scary stuff. You feel so helpless! Glad all is good!
Thankful that it didn’t take all of your sentimental priceless items because I couldn’t imagine the impact it would have on you and your business 🙏
Are you serious? Adam and friends are the type of people that would die in a real fire. They spent 8 hours moving cars lol and they all have smoke inhalation. They turned a completely safe situation to a near deadly situation so they can pretend to have saved a bunch of shitty cars for RUclips. Nobody even woke Collette up bro
Damn, I clicked on this video 24 seconds from when it was uploaded. Just finished it. Glad y’all made it okay and nothing serious happened. Awesome teamwork and very well executed
Much love ❤️ glad for now all is well , glad you took the evo to safety 😀
My heart dropped with the title been watching since the first s13 video so happy you guys got out safe and everything was okay this would have been one of the biggest losses on RUclips for sure
Can't imagine how scary this must have been. Well done everyone involved for dealing with it so flawlessly!
You possibly have the only video footage ever taken of the very beginning of a wildfire, that is indeed if human involvement isn't at play. Glad everyone is okay!
WHAT A WHIRL-WIND!! glad everyone was safe and that mike and everyone reacted reacted perfectly to the situation! stay safe guys!
That was close team. Awesome to see that you all worked together and got out safe.
There’s a fire right near my place in California right now too, luckily it’s not as close to the one a few years back but it’s definitely stressful when these fires pop up close to your homes. Glad you’re all okay and nothing was burnt up. Those fire crews are amazing at what they do and I’m glad they do what they do to keep us all safe.
Great job Mike, fire department and everyone at the compound 👏 👍 👌 glad you all are ok an the LZ compound is good. Adam you should get an old fire truck 🚒 for your compound maybe from the freedom factory, and you can make a fire break in the wood's around the compound to help gain access for fire trucks.
I’ve been through a house fire recently that took all of my belongings. And like you said in here. The material things don’t matter. Just made sure my family and few friends who were spending the night got out okay. It’s been tough to rebuild but it’s a lot better than losing someone
MAN so glad to hear no one was hurt. amazing job from the local PD and FD!
That’s scary man. You were one of the first RUclipsrs I watched as a kid and now here we are both following our dreams. Congrats on the team work to Save the comp
Glad you guys are safe!
Glad you got a chance to see it while it's still early and was able evacuate keep safe Adam 💯
Man living in Aussie know how bad bush fires can get you guys acted so calm and that’s why you guys got out with everything
Hope you actually have proper insurance for this situation. I'd be calling my company making sure everything is actually covered for fires
Never call, always email. Have a paper trail so you can fall back on if they deny for some reason.
Yo Mike doing the most out here. Quick thinking my man! Respect just goes up every time I think its gotten to the max
I’m glad you guys are safe and were able to get at least some of the cars out especially the expensive ones.
To be completely honest I would have never been quick enough to think like you did with the drone! Saved so much! And what a saving grace! Badass group of friends and family adam 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just remember that the embers can stay dormant for almost a month before they spark up again. I'd be super careful if I were you. Good job saving the compound guys
Praying for all of you that nothing like this comes up again I’m so happy everyone is ok and even more greatfull none of this happened while you were out at fd or another event
Glad everything is good I live just up the road from you keep up the great content
Happy to know you guys are in fl. A drier state would have been merciless, great job saving everything you could!
The thing that scared me the most is the issue that you don’t have that much water at the compound… maybe use the roofs to collect rain water just in case?
Im so glad everyone is alright and that there wasnt any damages
So glad you guys didn’t lose everything! My 2yr old could tell the energy from the video and was screaming no at the tv
Glad everyone’s safe. And Mike you deserve a glass of wine.
I can hear the stress in adams voice, like everything he's worked for he's afraid of going to flames. Gladly nothing did
As a FF myself, I can wholeheartedly say you guys did an outstanding job at bugging out within a small time window, especially considering bushfires aren't a common thing in Florida. Being from Australia, I can say you guys did a better job than most of the people who live here that deal with bushfires almost every year. Well done to you all and stay safe for the next week until it's all cooled down! might pay to look into a fire break around the compound and some sort of last defence system (e.g/ sprinklers, retardant foam etc.) in case this happens again
Nothing but chills, I’m happy all of you guys are ok!
Dude! Huge shout out to Mike man such huge place and He managed to spot it. I'm glad everyone is OK could've been so much worse.
I hope this doesn’t result in an uptick of people showing up unannounced at the compound
They may want to get it removed from Google maps because it's tagged
I know it sounds crazy but how big your compound is and how far you guys are from everything, you guys should try to find an old fire truck like the one Cleetus has at his shop
Glad you and the crew are safe
glad you and the crew are safe . crazy shit on a monday sheeesh . be safe
